Adding DASH options to an exisitng indicator - Repeater

[rdtdale]

This indicator repeats Zone displays for many uses. However the Outline for each zone is a SOLID Vertical line. Looking for someone to add code to allow Dash to be selected for the Outline.

Hi rdtdale,

I noticed that you need to add a variable for "Draw.RegionHighlightX". Next, you can set the style for it.
Below is the example:

if (toolType[i] == ToolSelector.TimeRegion) {
  DateTime test = Time[0].Date + startStop[i, 2];

  RegionHighlightX rH = Draw.RegionHighlightX(this, label[i], Time[CurrentBar - beginBar[i]], test, showOutline[i] ? brushColor[i] : Brushes.Transparent, brushColor[i], opacity[i]);
  rH.OutlineStroke = new Stroke(brushColor[i], DashStyleHelper.DashDot, 1);
}

Hello...I am not an advanced programmer, but I found the variable and kept the original line and added the new variable just below. Saved and compiled without error. Howver I do not see anything in the menu when I select the TImeRegion. Attached is what I see in menu.

Hi rdtdale,

If you want to add an option so the user can choose the style for the line, please follow the steps below:

1. At the "Properties" region, please add a property named "LineStyle", this property will refer to a lineStyle variable, and their type is "Stroke".
2. At the "variables" region, add a variable named "lineStyle" (type "Stroke").
3. Now, you can set the style for your drawing object. Just set the outline style of the object equal to the "LineStyle" property.
4. The user can change the line style in the settings window by changing the value of the "Line Style" parameter in the "Graphics" section.

Hi ninZa...thanks for this....this language seems quite complex to learn. I added what you suggested at the ARROWS and it work partly. The region would show the DASH but only on one of the lines. I use this to create 90 min windows for AMD, and also 30 min windows for macro time to look for a setup based on a Breaker Block. So far this code is the closet for NT...contacting the original Author did not work. Thanks again.
